Analyze the portrayal of addiction and its consequences in Text B, considering both verbal and visual elements.

Here are the answers to the remaining questions for Text B and the combined question:

1.9 Refer to the verbal text.
How does "Addiction" contribute to the idea of imprisonment?

The word "Addiction" is written on a padlock that is securing the "Vape" box, which traps the man. This visually represents that addiction is what locks a person into the habit of vaping, making them a prisoner of the substance.

1.10 Identify how addiction is depicted in the visual image.

Addiction is depicted in the visual image by:

• The man being physically trapped inside the "Vape" box, with his head and hands struggling to get out.
• The word "ADDICTION" written on a padlock that is keeping the box closed.
• The man's distressed facial expression and the chains around his wrists and ankles, symbolizing his lack of freedom.

1.11 Comment on the effectiveness of the portrayal of the man in conveying the message of TEXT B.

The portrayal of the man is highly effective. His distressed expression, bulging eyes, and visible struggle to escape the "Vape" box clearly convey the suffering and entrapment caused by vaping addiction. The chains around his limbs further emphasize his lack of freedom. This visual representation powerfully communicates that vaping, despite its trendy image, leads to a severe loss of control and personal liberty, making the message about the dangers of addiction very impactful.

1.12 Refer to both TEXT A and TEXT B.
In your opinion, is TEXT B relevant to the information provided in TEXT A? Justify your response.

Yes, TEXT B is highly relevant to the information provided in TEXT A.

TEXT A discusses the alarming rise of teen vaping and highlights that e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive, leading to dependence and difficulty focusing. It also mentions that teenagers are often unaware of the risks and are influenced by social media making vaping look "trendy and harmless."

TEXT B visually reinforces this by depicting a man trapped inside a "Vape" box, secured by a padlock labeled "ADDICTION." This image directly illustrates the addictive nature of vaping (a key point in Text A) and the loss of freedom and control that comes with it. The man's struggle to escape the box visually represents the "struggle to stop" that Text A refers to, making the abstract concept of addiction tangible and impactful. Therefore, Text B serves as a powerful visual summary and reinforcement of Text A's central message about the dangers and addictive qualities of vaping.
